The Washington Nationals sixth annual Dream Gala will take place at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center on Saturday, June 18, 2011. Guests will have the opportunity to mix and mingle with Nationals players and coaches during the event, which serves as the primary fundraiser for the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation.
Over the years, the Dream Gala has raised more than $2 million for the Dream Foundation's three cornerstone programs:
- The Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy: The Academy will operate as a youth development program committed to teaching the fundamentals of baseball and softball while providing after-school and summer educational programs for youth in Wards 7 and 8. The Academy is expected to open in 2012. For more information, visit nationals.com/academy.
- The Washington Nationals Pediatric Diabetes Care Complex at Children's National Medical Center: This facility will provide a multi-disciplinary approach to supporting families of children with diabetes.
- The Neighborhood Initiative: Deserving organizations are presented with various resources and in-kind donations to further their dedication and work toward improving the Southeast/Southwest DC neighborhoods surrounding Nationals Park and beyond.
The Washington Nationals Dream Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to improving the lives of children throughout the Washington Capital Region through community partnerships. For more information on the Dream Foundation or to make a donation, visit nationals.com/dream.
